Vitality score
Vitality score 46.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 92 % of the 17,925 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the DOMMARTIN-AUX-BOIS_SAPC weather station, 9.8 km away at 396 m; the village itself is at 326 m. [10]
The village sits 70 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LIGNEVILLE, 14.1 km away at 433 m, over 23 summers. [10]
That station sits 107 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,024 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LERRAIN, 0.2 km away at 320 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Lerrain's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
